Sorry OK what I did was found my instruction booklet the radio came with. Then looked up the icon for language and input. So went to setting on the radio found the icon. Clicked on it. Then from there click on options (that were in Chinese) clicked and scrolled till I found the right one. Then choose English. Know all is good. So hope this will help out someone. :D

here is my sku and some other numbers:

SKU : s060046400001

x000mkzmcp

s155984700005

I did find one that looked exactly like mine being sold with android install..

How do you re-image the radio? Can you backup what you have now then revert back. Are there tools I need to use?

Thanks for the help.

Random Reboots/Restarts

Has anyone else experienced a problem with the unit randomly rebooting/restarting? It worked fine for the first 45 days or so, but now it's doing this. I checked the wiring and did a factory reset, but it's no better. It happens 2-3 times per 12 minute drive, so every 4-5 minutes.

Thanks

Update?

Hey Guys,

I've been looking online and I've found 2 different versions of this unit.

The original android 2.3.4 version and the newer android 4.2.2 version.

I have links for eBay but cannot add them due to the spam protection on this forum.

The specs are a little different too,

Android 2.3.4

CPU: FREESCALE I.MX535D Cortex A8 1GHz

Ram: DDR3 512M

iNand Memery: 4G

Android 4.2.2

CPU: RK3066 1.6GHz Cortex A9 Dual Core

Ram: DDR3 1GB

Memory: 8 GB

The newer model is £80GBP more, and in the UK however the cheaper model is in Poland so takes much longer to arrive.

Given the choice of the two should I get older cheaper model or more expensive newer model?

If I did buy the older cheaper version, could I / should I then upgrade it to 4.2.2 or 4.4 etc?
[Android Head-Units] WeAreNotAlone:
On Ebay links (Even if you can post links)

Do a copy and paste of the item title and item number from url shown.

Example: (Found with searching with first set of specs posted, EG: the old model)

Android-6-2-Double-Din-3G-Wifi-Car-GPS-Nav-DVD-Player-BT-Indash-Radio-CAMERA-/150942959362

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-6-2...D-Player-BT-Indash-Radio-CAMERA-/150942959362

(Tip, you can search via item number alone. Copy and paste 150942959362 into Ebay search box.)

State Sellers name (might save you some grief, and if seller screws you his seller ID is made public)

In regards to new vs old, specs of new old are alot better. Doubt the older model could be upgraded / perform well if updated.

.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
Get the newer one. The dual core CPU alone is worth paying more for - stops issues like music pausing when another process hogs the CPU.

AFAIK, no one has created any newer ROMs for the older model. I was looking into doing one myself late last year, but didn't get anywhere due to lack of time.

External SD Card not recognized by 3rd party apps nor is internal michrophone

Hello,

Just purchased my 6.2 Double Din:

CPU: A9 Dual Core

Android: 4.2.2

MCU: 4.3.10.1-1-10-612101

Sys Vers: 2.8.8

When I insert a Micro SD card in the front slot the card is mounted by the system. It shows up in the storage section of settings and the stock players can read the card and play music and videos.

What is strange is that ES File Explorer cannot see the card (or some setting is preventing me from getting to the device root perhaps) and any 3rd party mp3 players from the play store (Shuttle for example) do not find media on the card.

1) Is this another limitation of hardware/software interface in this unit or do I have a setting issue or a defect?

/*** UPDATE - File Explorer sees the card now, was not letting me get to / directory originally. Still music players do not see the media on the card, I have tried 3, strange. Card works fine with media players in my phone's external SD slot. ****/

Additionally, disappointed that the microphone does not work in the unit for anything other than the stock Bluetooth phone app (I knew in some units this was a problem from a different post here, but was hoping).

2) Is this perhaps a setting?

3) Could I possibly ROOT and use a Bluetooth dongle and a headset for voice input to apps such as google maps?

The ebay seller mentioned something about the IPOD interface when I asked about the microphone input to other apps.

4) Is it possible to use pinouts on the IPOD to get a microphone input to the device? Doesn't seem realistic to me.

Cheers,

JL

Camera api

Is there a way to implement the new camera api into cm 12?
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
In the 2.3 units, the BT handsfree is basically a standard BT "headset" controller. The mic feeds it's audio input, and the output goes into the amp. All the app does is send commands to the handsfree chip over serial - the BT connection is never touched by any Android software.

I assume they haven't changed this as it helps keep the design very simple.

I don't see why not. If you can use a BT headset to do it on your phone, it should work that way.

At a guess, I would say the ipod connector simply feeds into the amp. Same with Aux In. I've never used either of these, but I really can't see them actually feeding into the "computer" side of the device.
[Android Head-Units] jlag:
Thanks for the info. My system is running 2.8.8.

1) Is there firmware that I could load that would support this or is this specifically a hardware issue?

What is interesting is when the unit is waiting for voice input you can see dead air, then it appears to gain up and you see that it is picking up noise as it gains up. This makes me think the A/D line may perhaps be connected and just needs a microphone connected. A schematic would be cool.

2) Would you know what revision the microphone began to work?

[Android Head-Units] blackmoorX:
I bought a week ago an OUKU 7 inch Double din WinCe 6 Based Car stereo with reverse camera and kudos maps gps card. Ebay item: 261756486067. It arrived today and I installed it.

First thing to go wrong, the radio receiver is horrible! I can get only 1 channel, and even that is very squelchy. But the more serious problem is, that the audios ettings don't work right. When setting Bass, it sets Middle! Middle setting does nothing. So I have a very middle trebled sound with no bass at all.

What should I do? The receiver came from poland, (no vat, or toll) But I suspect it is still a chinese dealer, according the emails back and forth prior purchasing.

Monday 18th I made my order for a unit with capacitive screen, canbus but without Dtv.

Today I spoke with Peter Chan (Pumpkin_cool in Skype) and told me that the unit will come this next week and send it to me.

If you want to order it with capacitive screen you have to talk to him directly by skype.

I was gonna ask this: http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160884748885#ht_18515wt_889

He told me that the price difference was $ 20 and that if he did not want to Dtv had to ask for this: (so the price is 509 + 20 = 529) and I ordered it with capacitive screen, canbus without dtv .

http://www.ebay.es/itm/2-Din-Androi...cessories&hash=item2c6cea066b#ht_19194wt_1163

The order (in my case to Spain) takes 7 days or so, but the unit with capacitive screen the call directly to the factory and takes another 7 days or more in reach out to him.

He told me I was gonna be the first thing they sold a unit with capacitive screen .... and I said that being first is not always the best ...:D

I bought one before and returned it because the screen was not working properly.

I bought this: http://www.phonocar.es/en/media-sta...7â-bluetooth-gps-module-built-in/VM101.html

I did tests with other players like winamp, and other and working but the physical buttons on the unit and the steering wheel controls do not work to change songs. I had to change the song from the touch screen.

I do not recommend buying the unit of Phonocar ... in the Technical Specifications set that is 1ghz and I saw that only 800mhz with an application. and worst of all ... the screen is resistive and worked only with a fingernail or stylus ... never with your finger. and costs twice that of ebay.

I had many problems getting my money back. 3 months and 2 units with the same fault and told me that his performance was correct.

Does anyone have any idea what to do if your unit just shows a white screen all of the sudden? I took mine out to make a modification to the dashboard, and when I plugged the harness back in, its unresponsive and just has a white scree. I can turn it on and off with the volume knob, but nothing else works.

Any help would be great!

Maybe try disconnecting the power then reconnecting.

What modifications were you doing?

[Android Head-Units] ph0en1xtk:
I was making some adjustments to the plastic dash kit I bought for my car. I unhooked the head unit and did the work, then plugged it back in and went to test the reverse camera I just purchased before taking the time to run the cables under the carpet if it was defective. I plugged the camera into the camera port on the back of the radio and loosely put the power cables from the camera to power and turned the car on. I thought originally that the white screen was due to the camera being defective but unhooking the camera proved to be ineffective, as well as pressing the reset button on the front of the head unit. I disconnected power quite a few times to no avail. Also it won't spit out my DVD anymore either lol :(

I am going to try and put the update file on my sd card and see if I can get it to update and maybe work after that, but if not, I dunno what else to do. Having rooted it and sanding one of the edges down, I doubt I can claim warranty on it now

First off I'm glad to see so many people getting on board with this HU! I have read pretty much this whole thread trying to soak up as much as I can from it.

I'm having a problem with storage, I have an 8gb SD card and a 32gb usb drive plugged in and everytime I hit a sizeable bump the SD unmounts for just a moment causing my music to stop, and after some time it seems to have erased the whole card. I had spotify download my playlists to the sd and now it is no longer doing so, it's really annoying.

Also am I the only one who had to modify the holy crap out of my double din bezel?

Damn, does everyone drive a vw?

The 7" units available for your vw's have a more polished look to it. I don't like the silver knobs, looks like the silver plastic will start flaking off eventually.

There's a few other units running the same specs, freescale a8 1ghz 512 ram, could the rooted image be flashed on those devices?

I like the look of this single knob dbl din more. It has a cleaner look IMO.

I've noticed that all of the Android 4.0 listings are "Android 4.0 + Win CE 6.0", which (I believe) means that it runs Win CE 6.0 as the OS, and Android is an application running under Win CE. So these aren't "Pure Android" devices. (Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that.)

Torque via ODB2 USB Cable (no bluetooth)

Thanks to all the early adopters who have shared so much information about this unit already, giving others the confidence to try. Mine is currently running on the bench so I can get a feel for it, not yet installed...

I suspect that this may be an ignorant question, otherwise I would have seen discussion about it: Is it possible to run Torque using a direct USB link instead of fussing with bluetooth? If so, wouldn't this more reliable (and easy, as the receptacles at both ends of the cable are permanently installed)?

Unit failing too quickly and no email support either.

I purchased my head unit last year from a reputable ebay store and installed it in a 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE mini van. I am an experienced car stereo installer with more than 25 years in business. I previously had a Clarion touch screen unit with NAV in this vehicle, but it was extremely slow to respond and I wanted something that would work as quickly as my Samsung tablet. After searching the internet and much research on youtube of end-users of your radio, I decided to purchase and install the TH8681GA unit. Initially I was very enthused about the functionality and response time of the product. I even encouraged my brother-in-law to purchase one for his Subaru. After only 3 months of use, the screen began to fade out, giving me a washed out look with a burned in radio screen permanently etched in the view at certain angles. The Basarsoft-IGO NAV system is very good, but it does not hold the memory of my selections for setup; language etc. The other memory functions in the radio remain set, so I know that the problem is not in the constant power 12V supply wire. Is there anything that can be done with this radio? I was hoping for durability with this product and at the price, a value that would allow me to install it for my customers.:(

Ouku Android 6.2" frozen at startup; unable to reload firmware

Hello, and thanks to the community for the information and support on this unit. I made a purchase two years ago and finally just got this installed about a month ago (kept dreading the 2 din mod to my '99 Yukon). It went in ok and operated alright for about 2 weeks.

Then, upon ejecting and reloading an audio CD, the screen froze/glitched on the player ap (though the music was playing, as I recall). I hit the button to power down and restart the HU, but it never came back on. I don't even get a boot screen; the screen just lights up when it's trying to come on and will go dark when the power button is pushed again.

I have tried the reset button (dozens of times), tried cutting power to the HU, and tried reloading the firmware according to one tutorial I found: Loaded the files on the root of a micro SD card, inserted in the HU and turned on holding a face button and the power button (never got anything other than a white screen). Perhaps it was the wrong firmware version or wrong method.

I don't have a lot of details about the unit, and can't confirm versions since I can't boot up. It was purchased March 2013, and looks exactly like the rectangular, stock unit with 6.2" screen and two dials, 4 buttons down each side. The SD card slot on the left seems to be dummy.

any help or hope? Thanks!

My Ouku 4.2.2 head unit will not pick up GPS at all. I have all location settings on, antenna connected and ran to the roof, and have tried multiple GPS apps. It is driving me crazy... Sygic will load, but indefinitely says "inaccurate GPS signal" and will not let me use navigation. I have also downloaded a few GPS fix apps. They all just sit indefinitely without a signal. I have tried parking it for 20 mins in the driveway to lock on a satellite and still nothing. One of my GPS fix apps says "No GPS Magnetic field." Seriously, I'm at my wits end.
